These wine pitchers (62.9.1-2) were probably made as a pair and have been attributed to an artist who specialized in painting such vessels. Each oinochoe shows a pair of women with objects (ribbons on both vases and an alabastron perfume bottle on one) that suggest the scenes are of servants with their mistresses.
